The wonderful city of Delft is somewhere we’ve been a few times over the years, with our last visit there in 2022. While we’ve got there by various means, including bike, tram and car, we’ve never cycled there directly from Duinrell.

Regular readers will no doubt be familiar with our yearly trips to the holiday and amusement park Duinrell in the town of Wassenaar. In 2025, instead of staying at an additional location in the Netherlands as we had done for a number of years, we’d arranged to spend the full two weeks at Duinrell.

Among the regular places we visit while we’re at Duinrell is the fantastic miniature park Madurodam. It’s somewhere we’ve been going since our first stay at Duinrell in 2012, with good reason, as there’s so much to see and do there.

With some time to spare for a ride, I decided to head out to somewhere I’d been before, the Burgemeester Waaijerbrug bridge. This distinctive structure is somewhere I’d ridden to back in 2018, as part of a ride to Zoetermeer, after reading all about it on Bicycle Dutch.

Being just a short 15 minute ride from Duinrell, the beach at Wassenaarse Slag is a must-visit for anyone staying at the holiday park. Certainly, when we’re there, we make sure we save any sunny days for a trip to the beach.

No trip to Duinrell would be complete without a visit to the nearby city of Leiden, I’m pretty sure we’ve been here on every visit. I’ve written previously about our trips to Leiden in 2015, 2017 and 2022, but there’s always something different to see each time we come, so there’s always room for another!

On our first full day at Duinrell and while everyone was getting ready, I set out on a quick morning ride around Wassenaar. This is a familiar route that I’ve ridden previously and covered some of it in 2022, when construction of the A44 RijnlandRoute was in progress.

Since we’ve been going to Duinrell, we usually try to fit in a ride to the city of Leiden when we stay there, and 2022 was no exception. I’ve previously written about our trips there back in 2015 and 2017, so this might be quite familiar. Though with this being The Netherlands, there’s always one or two new things to see along the way.

Now, we’ve been meaning to go back to Rotterdam for some time. It turns out we’ve not been there for a while, not since 2013 in fact, so we were definitely due another trip. Seeing Bicycle Dutch’s post on the improvements to Rotterdam’s Coolsingel definitely made me want to go back for another visit.
